# Control Group Input Plugin
This plugin gathers statistics per [control group (cgroup)][cgroup].
> [!NOTE]
> Consider restricting paths to the set of cgroups you are interested in if you
> have a large number of cgroups, to avoid cardinality issues.
The plugin supports the _single value format_ in the form
```text
VAL\n
```
the _new line separated values format_ in the form
```text
VAL0\n
VAL1\n
```
the _space separated values format_ in the form
```text
VAL0 VAL1 ...\n
```
and the _space separated keys and value, separated by new line format_ in the
form
```text
KEY0 ... VAL0\n
KEY1 ... VAL1\n
```

additional global and plugin configuration settings. These settings are used to
modify metrics, tags, and field or create aliases and configure ordering, etc.
See the [CONFIGURATION.md][CONFIGURATION.md] for more details.

## Configuration
```toml @sample.conf
# Read specific statistics per cgroup
# This plugin ONLY supports Linux
[[inputs.cgroup]]
## Directories in which to look for files, globs are supported.
## Consider restricting paths to the set of cgroups you really
## want to monitor if you have a large number of cgroups, to avoid
## any cardinality issues.
# paths = [
# "/sys/fs/cgroup/memory",
# "/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/child1",
# "/sys/fs/cgroup/memory/child2/*",
# ]
## cgroup stat fields, as file names, globs are supported.
## these file names are appended to each path from above.
# files = ["memory.*usage*", "memory.limit_in_bytes"]
```
## Metrics
All measurements have the `path` tag.
